Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

The flyers are updated again.

*A woman in red robes walk past and takes a moment to look through the list. Her gaze would pause to wander the list as she notices the most recent addition. She would point to the belt which is auctioneered* I would bid 600 bags for this item, should the sum suffice. *She says shortly, awaiting an answer*

Shea smiles politely and nods.

"Of course it suffices - it is the minimum bid I set for that auction after all."

After updating the flyer, she looks into the womens' eyes, then.

"As with all my auction others have one day now to make a higher bid for that fine belt. Otherwise it will be yours tomorrow at this time."

*She would offer a slight smile whilst listening to the auctioneer's response* Then I shall return at nightfall to see what competition my bid might have found... or else with gold to fill your coffers. *She would then take a moments pause, before adding* However, to carry such a large amount of coin would be rather difficult. Perhaps we could arrange a meeting at a merchantile estate should my bid stand untrodden.

"Sure miss, do you have a specific place in mind?"


((Auction for the Raumathar Belt will go for 2 hours until I'll close it.))

Shea updates the flyers again and smiles to the woman.

"Congratulations, miss. - You got yourself a "moighty foine belt" as some bearded little customer decribed that trinket recently. Where do you want to do the exchange now? You mentioned some offical place?"


((Auction for the Belt of Raumathar closed. - Kaeldre, please send me a tell ingame any time you see me, alright? ))

"Sure miss, do you have a specific place in mind?"

*She would take a moment to ponder* The Sword Coast Commercial Exchange offer their services as a bank. I believe they would be willing to assist in this regard. I shall reach out to them as we leave my bid open.

Shea updates the flyers again and smiles to the woman.

"Congratulations, miss. - You got yourself a "moighty foine belt" as some bearded little customer decribed that trinket recently. Where do you want to do the exchange now? You mentioned some offical place?"

*The woman would return as the night falls, offering her greetings to Shea as she recieves the news.* Marvelous, truly. I spoke to the bankers of The Commercial Exchange of Baladur's Gate. They would be willing to assist us in our transaction. I've already managed to move the sum of gold we agreed upon. Let us settle our trade there.

"As you wish."


Without further hesitation Shea closes the stall and heads off towards the Gate.

And yet again, the flyers are updated. . .
Shea has been seen looking for a man named "Vhaal" lately, too:

Velaris wrote:A well dressed man in smooth linked mithril mail steps up and meets your minimum bid on the gloves:

Mobsmans Mittens
useable: Rogue only
Hide +4
Move Silently +4
Sleight of Hand +4
min bid 25.000

I would be glad to take these off your hands, and put them on mine!
*he smiles and leaves his name as Vhaal, bowing slightly*

Soon after the last update the flyers are renewed yet again - now to show a new name and a new compagnon - along with two new items:

Cloak of Displacement
Displacement (9) 3/day
7.500

Paladin Helmet of Auppensers beauty
AC bonus (Deflection) +2
CHA +1
INT+3
13.000

A fighter in full plate sits down by the campfire next to FAI, cleaning some of this equipment, when he overhears Nixidea talk about her business. He rudely interrupts her talking to some other adventurers,

"You sell any shields and weapons?"

After Nixidea hands him the list of equipment he browses through the list quickly, then points to the Tower shield set up for special auction.

"I'll place a bid on that tower shield, 20 bags"

When she asks his name, he introduce himself as Kaladin.

He sits back down and cleans his equipment, before leaving into the woods.

a huge orc walks up and tosses down a huge and bloody sack. "dis fur too staq uv heelz lixer." proudly the massive orc opens the sack relieving it is loaded with severed troll heads. 140 troll heads to be exact. bloody and mangled the whole area now stinking of troll viscera.

(( And back again, sorry for the delay! ))

After learing of Kaladins interest in the shield, Shea waits some time if there is some other bid.
When she realizes that there is noone else, she shrugs and starts to spread the word that Kaladin can have a fancy new shield . . . if he has the little sum of 20.000 gold, that is.

While updating her list, the orc walks up and releases what seems to be trolls skulls. Shea quirks a brow, trying her best to understand the guttural belching the orc considers "proper speech", apparently.
In the end a helpless shrug is all she can offer.
"Come again?"

the huge orc provides the merchant an incredulous look. or the orc could be hungry. hard to tell. the orc then laughs and asks, "Yoo no see de Hedz? Khar wuntz healz water.... Humi wuntz troll hedz.... we make dun." kicking the bag of smelly troll heads again to make the point clearly. "Khar mak too bag ov headz eef yoo add shy nee hat."

/// the augury's mind maze///

Slowly, very slowly, her face expression turns towards "understanding", it seems.
She nods, ponders, nods again, ponders some more - then, in the end, shakes her head.

"I cannot go any lower than the stated price of . . ." *seems to calculate quickly* ". . . one hundred and sixty heads. Otherwise I'd lose money in this trade. Bring me twenty heads more and we have a deal."
